A version of this story on RuPaul Charles first appeared in the Down to the Wire issue of TheWrap?s Emmy magazine. For its first six seasons, ?RuPaul?s Drag Race? was ignored by Emmy voters. But that began to change two years ago, when the reality series landed a makeup nomination. And then host RuPaul Charles was not only nominated in the reality-host category last year, but won. That victory was precursor to a bumper crop of nominations this year: seven for ?Drag Race? and one for the spinoff series ?Untucked.? When asked if RuPaul ever wishes that Donald Trump would watch his show he said, "Not really. There?s nothing that could be done there. Our focus is on young people, and helping them articulate what?s in their hearts. We want to get to them before Fox News does."
